Thank you Bernadette as always :)

Good luck with the move Carrie. I vote for 2 as well.

I'd like to claim the R with The Ronin's Mistress if that's okay. Could someone put me down for that?..."

Hi Lauri, I sure can put your book in the spreadsheet.

Hi Lauri, I sure can put your book in the spreadsheet.

Why -- oh WHY -- are they spelling liquorice with a Q? Tricky!"

I think I have a book with a Q narrator! :)

Hi Jill! My husband works with adults with developmental disabilities too.

I worry also about my books we read for a month but I don't want to be overconfident if I read less than that. I think the spreadsheet is fixed with how they count our books read as a team.

Kate wrote: "When I am not reading or doing the kid-shuffle, you can find me in the kitchen, on the couch watching a movie with my family, or outside in the yard trying to make things grow with my black thumb"

Hi Kate! I'm a movie and tv show fan too but since the pandemic, I spent most of my time listening to audiobooks. And also, I like to have a yard someday lol

Hi everyone!

I'm Alyana and this is my first Wheel-a-thon. I played tower teams a few months ago and I'm excited for this one!

I live in Queens, NY. I'm a full time mom with a 7 year old kid. I'm not really an outdoorsy (is there such a word? not sure, lol) kind of person so I spend most of my time with family and my computer.

I like mysteries, psychological thrillers, YA/NA, contemporary and some romance. Not into much sci-fi. For non-fiction, memoirs are my thing.

Just like what Kate had mentioned, when I'm not reading (mostly listening though), I'm doing house chores and watching movies and tv shows with my family or by myself.

Looking forward to play with you all!

From there you're heading to your first stop, Florence - the one in the States, not the one in Italy ;-)



Enjoy your trip!"

Yaaayy!! Thank you!!

Yessss!!!

Thanks ..."

It might help if we send a message to the Wheelathon Chat thread? Most of the mods are actively responding to messages there.

I still had mine on! I signed up a few days ago. Thanks Cat!

Thanks Bernadette! I hope the mods will reply soon! I think the travel agent not being able to receive messages is because of the new privacy settings set by GR. You can only send pm's to GR friends and no more posting of third party links.

Me too, i tend to overread during a challenge, it motivates me a lot and some pressure from teammates who are fast readers.

Wheels challenge announced and sign ups are open!

Hi guys,

Check out Scribd—you can read books whenever you want. They have audiobooks too! I think you'll really like it.

It costs less than the price of a paperback, but if you sign up with my link you'll get your first 60 days free: https://www.scribd.com/gae/9czquq
